Which of the following best describes the problem with the viewing disability based on the Nagi model?
a. Functional limitations are used to determine if an individual is disabled.
b. Functional limitations are not easily objectified and measured.
c. The model does not distinguish between genetic limitations and limitations imposed by injury or illness.
d. Persons are or are not limited according to choices they make.
ANS: A
The Nagi model uses functional limitations, which have been defined and are measureable, to determine whether an individual is disabled. However, the current paradigm considers the environmental barriers and the perspectives of the onlooker when considering if an individual is disabled. Thus, the other options do not address the limitation of using only functional limitations.
